last ones for today! lol

EPIC! haha



I dont have parts in my garage. oh wait nvm

 

Good job on the pics.

just and FYI though, if you put the camera on Macro, you can take close up shots and still be in focus. (like the shot of the spark plug hole).
anyways, thanks for th pics.





Yeah Jason, the kit consist of 4 threaded sleeves and 4 springs. you pick the rates. (and what ever other small things are needed.)
you keep your shocks.
just let them know what shocks you have so they can make sure your new sleeves fit. (some aftermarket shockes are thicker then others).

what shocks do you have? (yes I know you have struts, I just like the work shock better).

 

I never miss the chance to post pics... here are some of my RX-7



the yellow engine is tyhe first one. I built it. its a street ported 6 port.

the patriotic engine I had built. its a bridged 4 port, 3mm seals, blah blah blah.

 

yea i know, but my camera isnt the best, and my hands were oily and greasy, didnt want to mess up the cam

 

4 port

 

Sweeet *** Pics!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks ******* Sick!!!

 

Nice pics Zero! Thanks

 

thanks. im going to start tearing the motor apart tomorrow. should have some pretty cool pics. and if the irons are good, ima go ahead and port aswell.

 

Thanks... I can't promise much though. This car's a handful to learn on. I could probably use some help dialing in the chassis but mostly I think it's a problem off too much power for a novice doing technical driving.

By the way, who made that yellow three point strut bar on your FC? I've been looking for something similar for mine.

Zero... Sorry to hear about the engine drama fella. That sucks. If the dark side starts to look appealing I've got a thread detailing what all I went through for the LS conversion (see sig).

 

What kind of port? Or maybe I should just guess based on the pictures....

 

Seat time, seat time, seat time. LS1 cars came w/ traction control for a reason BTW, you are very modest Joel. You seemed to do well at Buttonwillow when we first met.
Here's a repost of Casey's killer Gymkana find.

Def. watch in high res.

 

yeah that vid is freak sweet!



like Damon said.... seat time.

the strut bar on my car was made by Schidecker fabrications. (spelling?) in rialto. he is the one that put the cage in that car. the strut bar actualy bolts to the cage on the other side of the fire wall. it tied the cage to the front end of the car. he did a very good job. and the price seemed fair.


for a drag car that strut brace was likley a waist, but it would have been killer in a road race car.

 

Ughh,
Looks like I'll have my hands full getting ready for the 30th race.
Here's my honey do list:
1. Relocate air filter in fender well out of engine bay
Got parts, hole is in, easy money- dyno tested extra 12whp-pretty good for $30
2. New sparks
3. Replace fuel rail w/ polished Blingy one I picked up for cheap
I know I'm going to regret this one
4. new valve cover gasket
Previous owner used silicone and I'll be lucky if none of it made it into the oil pick-up yet
5. Replace water line from turbo to block
I knew I could smell coolant after the last race. Ironicly w/ a leak from a heated and pregnant line my temps still only hit normal.
6. Oil change
7. Plastic under fender things back in
8. Remove rear sway bar
I'll put it back in for any future mad tyte Gymkhana drifting action

I guess it's not that much compared to others. Zero........

Hey Rob- Let me know when you upload the in car vids from last race.

 

Did I hear gymkhana mentioned? My favorite video...

Ken Block's was definitely the first 4 wheel drive I've seen go nuts with it.

 

Oh my god

 

yea its all good, haha the darkside ey... hmmm i thought about it, but i would drop an Ls1 in a s13 coupe, not my fc, although i do like brismos fc. lol



well right now the car is completely stock ported.


but ima do a large race port on my motor. should start porting it torrow.

ill upload pics of what was done today later..

 

Here ya goo!

i made a thread for my build. LOTS OF PICS !!!

thanks

here is my to do list.



Fix chrome numbers and letters
check for cone marks / damage
check for tire rubbing / fix
fix intake
check for flat spots. (doubtfull) (maybe rotate?)
add air to tires
check right front brake dust shield for rubbing
check shifter (reverse)

 

You big bulky cars don't stand a chance against the liteweights.

And my to do list is WAY to long to mention. So without going in to detail;
Hoses
Wires
cables
Brakes
Roll bar
Exhaust

 

damn beagle... that car is stupid fast.




and BTW. we dont ALL have big bulky cars. the miata is under 2000 pounds now!!! woot woot!

 

^^
I was thinkin you would like the liteweight comment.
I am hoping for under 2000lbs too. But if all goes well, I will have about 140-150hp at the tires when I am done. But for now, it will probably be about 120hp.

 

hey souinds like my car. I would guess int he 110 to the wheel mark. but really thats just a guess.

you are planning to come play with us when its done right?

when do you expect to be driving it?

 

That's a quick MR2. Looks like a radio controled car.
I forgot about your to do list/ build and future late nights. Makes my list look easy.
Thanks Rgl!
Damon

 

I am still about a month away from completion.
But once it is done, we plan on attending the practice days because you get more laps.

And of course the track days!! The car is actually being built for Street of Willow.

 

what shocks springs and sways are you going with?
wheels tires?
